The Leibniz Institute fellowships support doctoral researchers from Germany and abroad who have at least a Master’s level degree in history, theology or another discipline that works historically. They must have been pursuing their doctorate for no more than three years at the time of taking up the scholarship, though exceptions may be made in exceptional circumstances. Fellows are invited to the Institute in Mainz, Germany, where they will conduct research related to their thesis. Fellows receive € 1,350 a month throughout their visit.
